MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx has issued the following statement regarding reports that his former girlfriend, 28-year-old tattoo artist Kat Von D (born Katherine Von Drachenberg), is dating motorcycle mogul and Sandra Bullock's ex-husband Jesse James:
"My office has been inundated with requests for a statement or interviews. The only thing I wanna say is, 'I wish Kat nothing but the very best. Right now I am focusing on my family, the 'Sixx Sense' radio show, the [second] SIXX: A.M. album and my upcoming book.' Any quote attributed to me other than this is inaccurate." In an August 12 posting on his MySpace page, Sixx wrote that MÖTLEY CRÜE's recently completed European tour was "one of the best times of my life." He added, "Not only were the crowds great but I also had such a wonderful time having Kat along with me for the whole tour. We soaked in [the] beautiful countrysides and foods together. Her new season of 'L.A. Ink' [the TLC TV show featuring Kat Von D] just premiered and for her to take time out of her equally busy life (including planning her book tour) was something I was just blown away by. I know a lot of [the CRÜE fans] got to meet her and that made her happy, too." Sixx made an appearance in the premiere episode of the new season of "L.A. Ink". In the episode, Sixx and his radio co-host Kerri Kasem welcomed Kat to the Los Angeles radio studio for an interview on "Sixx Sense". Future episodes in season four of the top-rated television show will feature Sixx at Kat's High Voltage Tattoo in Hollywood as he gets a tattoo of his "Sixx Sense" radio logo by Kat.

The snow hasn't arrived yet, but downtown Rocky River took on the holiday spirit with its annual December celebration.
The Downtown River Holiday Walk, a growing tradition in the city, drew families from across Northeast Ohio to the dynamic commercial corridor on Detroit Road.
Horse-drawn sleighs let families get an up-close, slowed-down look at their community. Shoppers wandered the neighborhood, seeking good deals, delicious snacks and a bit of live entertainment along the way. Carolers spread yuletide cheer and ice carvers showed of their skills at several points along the walk.

Product Care: Broyhill applies a multi-step finish on all of our wood furniture to enhance the beauty of the wood's surface. This finishing process uses lacquer-based products that are subject to damage by moisture, heat, or contact with alcohol-based and oil-based products. Take care of the multi-step finish Broyhill gives each piece and you'll preserve the inherent beauty of your fine furniture Protect your furniture.Never allow water or damp items to sit on your furniture including cleaning cloths, sponges, etc.Never allow alcohol-based products including some cleaners, nail polish and perfumes to come in contact with your wood furniture. They can dissolve the furniture finish on contact, requiring professional repairs.Do not allow plastic, including plastic or rubber placemats or rubberized feet on appliances, to come in direct contact with your furniture. Chemicals in the plastic may soften and injure the finish if exposed over a long period of time.Avoid placing hot objects on any furniture surface. Always use a protective pad or plate. Laminated surfaces on tabletops provide added scratch and heat resistance for our furniture, but they can still be damaged without proper care.Avoid direct sunlight, heat outlets, open windows, and dampness. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the finish of your furniture, while extreme temperature and humidity changes can cause cracking or splitting.Dust frequently with a clean, damp lint-free cloth to remove abrasive buildup which can damage the finish over time.Occasionally polish with a high-quality non-silicone furniture polish every few months to enhance the beauty of the multi-step finish. Spray the polish onto a clean cotton cloth, apply it to the furniture, and then buff with a second clean, dry cotton cloth. Note that any polish may make a low sheen finish appear more glossy. Avoid oily polishes and waxes.Remove sticky accumulations of skin oils to avoid professional repairs. Wipe the area with a clean cotton cloth dampened with mineral spirits, then buff with a second clean cotton cloth.Touch up small marks and scratches with a marker, scratch remover, or touch-up stick.

About the Manufacturer
Thomas H. (T.H.) Broyhill made his initial investment in furniture manufacturing in 1905 in Lenoir, North Carolina. In 1919, T.H. Broyhill became the majority owner of Lenoir Furniture Corporation, manufacturing bedroom and dining room furniture. As early as 1924, Broyhill began marketing its products at the new American Furniture Mart in Chicago. This commitment to aggressive sales and marketing laid the groundwork for the company's nationwide recognition as a leader in the industry. Broyhill Furniture continued to grow through the early years of the 20th century. In 1926, James Edgar (J.E.) Broyhill, T.H. Broyhill's brother, established Lenoir Chair Company. This expanded the company's product line into upholstery. Through the Depression and World War II Broyhill Furniture grew as a result of astute and bold investments in physical facilities, skilled employees and dedicated management. By the 1970s, Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc. had pioneered the use of assembly line techniques and had become one of the largest and most respected state-of-the-art furniture manufacturing companies in the industry. Interco Inc., a diversified holding company with a stable of consumer goods manufacturers, acquired Broyhill in 1980. Today, Broyhill is part of Furniture Brands International, the world's largest manufacturer of residential furniture and the parent company of Lane®, Thomasville®, Henredon®, Drexel Heritage® and Maitland-Smith®. Broyhill's extensive product line includes both residential and contract divisions, manufacturing bedroom, dining room, occasional tables, wall systems home entertainment, home office and numerous upholstered furniture categories. Growing, changing, innovating. Those are the qualities that have distinguished Broyhill as America's preferred furniture maker. Rooted in a rich history and grounded in the belief that quality and value never go out of style, Broyhill Furniture is a company that continues to lead the industry in products and services for today's home furnishings retailers and consumers.Style

To avoid predation, holothuroids produce feeding-deterrent molecules in their body wall and viscera, the so-called saponins. Five tropical sea cucumber species of the family Holothuriidae were investigated in order to study their saponin content in two different organs, the body wall and the Cuvierian tubules. Mass spectrometry techniques (MALDI- and ESI-MS) were used to detect and analyze saponins. The smallest number of saponins was observed in
Holothuroids, also known as sea cucumbers, are marine animals that are characterized by a slow motion and the absence of prominent structural defenses. As a direct consequence, they are vulnerable to predation. As a mean of defense, most sea cucumbers contain, in their body wall and viscera, secondary metabolites named saponins [
On the other hand, the biological roles of saponins in holothuroids are still very speculative [
Recent studies have demonstrated that mass spectrometry (MS) procedures represent very valuable techniques for the detection and identification of saponins [
Saponins of the five species have been extracted and analyzed using MALDI-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS. MALDI-MS technique was used for direct detection and analysis of saponin mixtures, while the LC-MS technique was performed to achieve chromatographic separation of potential isomers (see Supplementary
As a characteristic example,
The main difference between both MS/MS spectra lies in the presence of a sulfate group in holothurin A (
Similar mass spectrometric analyses were performed for all the body wall and Cuvierian tubules saponin extracts from the five investigated species. For each analysis, fragmentation patterns were built and saponin structures were elucidated or proposed. Indeed, in most of the cases, a literature survey allowed us to identify the saponins. When identification was not possible, molecular structures were tentatively proposed. Nevertheless, some isomeric saponins could not be identified and, in such cases, only molecular masses are reported as a support for further investigations.
The species
A semi-quantitative approach has been realized in order to obtain data on the total saponin content of the different species. The aim of this approach was to quantify, for each body compartment and for each species, the concentration of its specific saponin mixture as a whole. Two complementary methods were used based on the structures and properties of saponins, respectively. On the one hand, the orcinol reaction evaluated the glycoside content of the different extracts; on the other hand, the measurement of the hemolytic activity of these extracts reflected the effectiveness of the saponin mixture to lyse the erythrocytes of cow blood. The spectrophotometric measurements obtained with these tests were converted respectively to milligrams of glycoside by gram of tissue and to milligram equivalents of plant saponins by gram of tissue, using the standard curves and the wet weights of the body compartments (
Although the two methods do not measure the same characteristics of the sample, there was a significant correlation between their respective results (Pearson correlation test: r = 0.902, p < 0.001, n = 31). In many cases, the inter-individual variability was high (
Five tropical species of sea cucumbers of the family Holothuriidae were inv estigated in order to study their saponin content in two different organs, the body wall and the Cuvierian tubules. After extraction and purification, saponins were detected using MS techniques (MALDI- and ESI-MS). These techniques corroborate literature data, confirming the existence and the structures of many saponins, but they also allowed the detection of several new saponin congeners in all five species. The smallest number of saponins was observed in
In view of the obtained pieces of information, it appears relevant to classify saponins into two groups based on the presence or the absence of the sulfate moiety (sulfated
A semi-quantitative study was also performed to highlight differences in saponin concentrations between body compartments and between species. However, the high variability in saponin content between different individuals from a same species makes inter-specific comparisons difficult. Moreover, for the body wall, the two methods used (hemolytic activity and orcinol reaction) did not give convergent results. For Cuvierian tubules, on the other hand, both methods indicate that triterpene glycosides would be more concentrated in
In addition to these quantitative differences, qualitative differences were also detected between the saponin mixtures of the two body compartments. Some species possess more saponin congeners in the Cuvieran tubules than in the body wall (
High saponin concentrations and specific congener mixtures are usually associated with the defensive function of Cuvierian tubules [
Finally, there are several species in the genus
This whole study of the saponin content of these five species allowed us to complete the data from the literature and to highlight the large number and the high diversity of saponins in the Holothuriidae. The semi-quantitative approach completed these results and showed that a high diversity of saponins is not especially correlated to a high concentration of saponin. Although the complexity of the saponin mixtures described makes the elucidation of their respective biological roles difficult, the comparisons between species and between body compartments gave some clues about how these molecules may act as predator repellents. Further works must be done on the specific tissular localization of saponins as well as on their effectiveness against predator at natural concentrations in order to confirm their biological role.

All MS experiments were performed on a Waters QToF Premier mass spectrometer in the positive ion mode, either using the MALDI or the ESI source. The MALDI source was constituted by a nitrogen laser, operating at 337 nm with a maximum output of 500 mW delivered to the sample in 4 ns pulses at 20 Hz repeating rate. All samples were prepared using a 10 mg/mL solution of α-cyano-4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid in acetone as the matrix. The matrix solution (1 μL) was spotted onto a stainless steel target and air dried. Then, 1 μL of each butanolic fraction was applied onto the spots of matrix crystals, and air dried. Finally, 1 μL droplets of a solution of NaI (2 mg/mL in acetonitrile) was added to the spots on the target plate. Typical ESI conditions were: capillary voltage, 3.1 kV; cone voltage, 50 V; source temperature, 120°C; desolvation temperature, 300°C. Dry nitrogen was used as the ESI gas.
For the recording of the single-stage MALDI- or ESI-MS spectra, the quadrupole (rf-only mode) was set to pass ions between
For the on-line LC-MS/MS analyses, a Waters Alliance 2695 liquid chromatography apparatus was used. The HPLC device was coupled to the QToF Premier mass spectrometer (Waters) and consisted of a vacuum degaser, a quaternary pump and an autosampler. Sample volumes of 20 μL were injected. Chromatographic separation was performed on a non polar column (Symmetry C18, 4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm, Waters) at 27°C. The mobile phase (1 mL/min) was a nonlinear gradient program from methanol (eluent A) and water (eluent B). The gradient program was: 10% of eluent A at start, 0–6 min 10 to 60% A, 6–13 min 60 to 95% A and 13–15 min back to 10% of eluent A. The mobile phase flow (1 ml/min) was splitted prior injection in the ESI source (200 μL/min).
Two complementary techniques, the measurement of the hemolytic activity and the estimation of the carbohydrate content with the orcinol reaction, were used to estimate the variability of the saponin content between species and between body compartments in a same species.

Very nice. Looks great and blocks the sun well. Slightly disappointed with the mechanism to lower and raise the shades. It works but you have to e careful or you will completely unroll the shade or the shade jumps to the top of the window.
Could not have been more pleased. Love it! It is exactly what I wanted.
The shades are very nice, good quality. You you can see through them. They don't block your view to see if someone is coming up the walk way, but they do block out the light and give privacy. I will purchase more of these in the future.
I looked at custom shades at 250/shade and catalog shades at 200/shade. These shades have the quality of the custom with less hassle than the catalog shades and at a much better price. I am very happy with them.

My home area is Industrial/Organizational Psychology, the application of psychological principles to the working world. In particular, I'm interested in how the Internet has and will change the way work is conducted. Social media and 3D virtual environments are at the frontiers of both research and practice, and they are my focus. I use this blog to provide live coverage of academic conferences that I am attending, report on current research in technology applied to work, and promote my lab's research.

Thanks For Nothing
November 26th, 2009
Little known fact: aside from maize, the Native Americans also introduced the Pilgrims to tuxedo shirts.
(submitted by Hannah)
Kodak Moment? Or a future photo for a Hallmark Thanksgiving card perhaps?
I love the Wallpaper……..The Snozberries taste like Snozberries !!!
what? no regulation sized casserole dishes? obviously, SOMEONE can't follow MARNEY's directions
Forget the dishes – MARNEY would be in cardiac shock that the stuffing AND potatoes are on PLATES!! Obviously, these people are new to America and escaped decades of tyranny in some horrible Iron Curtain place where they don't know better. Look, you can see by the guarded fear in their eyes that they are afraid the secret police would know if they had too many bowls on display…..
I like his tuxedo shirt…it says "I want to be formal, but I'm still here to party."
Growing up, my mom, not that experienced with a camera, always took what she called a "practice picture"
She'd make a big production of setting everything up just right, and staging us – said it made the picture look more relaxed and spontaneous.
Funny thing, it was way before instant polaroids, and digitals were a distant dream of the future, so even with the practice picture, we still didn't now how goofy we looked until we got them back from the drug store.
They just found out mom wanted to make a healthly alternative to the traditional dinner. And that includes…yep, a tofurkey!
Ya know, when ya serve HEAPS of stuffing and MOUNDS of potatos on flat PLATES, they get cold within 2 minutes. This is definately not regulation. No wonder they aren't smiling they know their food is already cold. It's enough to make me want to break out the cocktail sauce.
Marnie clearly gave "room temperature" as one of her three acceptable temperature ranges.
The awful pink stuff is the cranberries. Strawberry Jello + Cool Whip + a can of cranberry sauce.
Those people are STARVING, and Mom makes them pose for pictures first.
I have a dress that has the EXACT same pattern as that wallpaper. Go figure.
Thank you for reminding me…..I think I had a dress with that same pattern too!! Now mind you, that was a long long time ago, and my brain might not be working right. That "breadbasket" in the middle of the table will never be eaten…..just spray it with varnish, and use it next year !
I think that is what's really awkward what the hell is that?
Its an unearthly color of pink. It must be photoshopped.
The pink stuff might be fruit salad. Cool whip and fruit I think the cherries dye it that color. It has been on some Thankgiving tables I have eaten at…tastes pretty good.
My aunt makes a delicious fruit salad with cool whip, cottage cheese, pineapple, and jello. Looks just like that. yummm
You'll eat Thanksgiving dinner, and you'll LIKE it!
Personally, I think that this photo PROVES that there is one dude out there who has worn a tuxedo t-shirt as a fashion statement, and succeeded with flying colors. Plus, he sorta resembles a young Greg Brady, no?
If Rockwell did his illustrations during the 1980′s, this would be it.
I seriously want to know how she made that cornucopia.
ME TOO! I was all… wow. I don't care if my kids do look like that. I will eat it myself, slice by slice.
Leonardo DiCaprio's last family Thanksgiving just before his career hit the big time!
I'm not really seeing the awkwardness here…ohh wait I'm not seeing a regulation size caserole dish on that table
I love it. The dinner shows all of the signs of a mother who can't live without her traditions; the cornucopia, the fancy china and goblets, everything. She even broke out the candles and tablecloth. And all the family cares about is eating the meal so they can go back to what they were doing while mom was cooking.
I bet that when those kids grow up and have their own kids, that they subject their own families to the same traditions!
Poor mom! You can see she put some time into that meal. Look at that cornucopia in the middle – is it made of bread? Come on, people, suck it up, smile for the picture! The rule here is – no smile, no food – works every time! LOL
"No smile, no food" that's excellent. I'm tucking that away for future reference!
who knows? mom just might be a terrible cook, and they know they have to eat it anyway.
I know the mom and I can vouch that she is the total opposite of a terrible cook!!
I have so many pictures like this. Because EVERY time my family got together my mom said, : We never have any nice pictures together.
So we started to make it so we didnt have any nice pictures together. haha
I got a simmilar T-shirt, and it is a cool T-Shirt.
Obviously, three people who despise turkey subjected to another bleeping Thanksgiving dinner!!!!
Now THAT was funny, girlgeek!!! A little prior info. from the previous A.F.P being brought into the mix (alluding to Grandmaster Marnie and her Droogs from "Thanksgiving Letters"). Kind of like when George Jefferson from "The Jeffersons" made a guest appearance on "All in the Family". Very unexpected, clever, and deserved more than a chuckle.
Can we get the family time over with so we can watch some football?
Pretty much every photo I've ever taken of my family on any given holiday looks just like this. Well, without the tuxedo shirt.
Sarcastic clothing really rounds out the festive vibe.

3 mooses! 3!
How exciting! I saw mooses outside our bedroom window so went for my camera. When I came back, I saw that there were 3 of them! It was mama with two 4 month old twins! I didn't realize she had twins again this year. This was our first time seeing this year's twins. They had been quite secrative before this, but what with all the fruit trees ripe and delicious, apparently this was a good time for an introduction to Alaska Garden Gate B&B for the young ones!
You may recall that mama had twins last year, too: the boy yearling is the crabby one who keeps chuffing at us and mock-charging when we get out of our cars, and his sister had a run-in with a car but seems to be mostly healed and walking on her fourth leg again. Moose stats tell us that Mat-Su moose bear more twins than moose in other regions. The browse locally is more nutritious for moose moms and supports more twins sets coming to full term, as well as seeming to play a role in twin conceptions.

Donators and fashion enthusiasts came to Stephens College's Davis Art Gallery on Saturday to see wedding gowns but not brides.
Volunteer models, educated about the era of the dress they wore, mingled among the viewers during the reception for the opening of the exhibit, "For Better, For Worse: The Dress, The Woman, The Life."
Monica McMurry, curator of the Costume Research Library at Stephens College, was responsible for developing the wedding dress exhibit, which features gowns from the college's costume collection along with donations. One of McMurry's students, Courtney Nelson, helped organize the event."We had a great response." McMurry said, "Stephen's new president, Dr. Wendy Libby, even donated her wedding dress."
The exhibit began after four gowns from Stephen's costume collection were chosen to be featured in the Costume Society of America's 2004 Historical Fashions calendar, "The Wedding Dress."
The exhibit can be viewed at Davis Art Gallery at Stephens College through Nov. 7. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

252Cf (2.645-year half-life) is a very strong neutron emitter and is thus extremely radioactive and harmful (one microgram spontaneously emits 170 million neutrons per minute). 249Cf is formed from the beta decay of 249Bk and most other californium isotopes are made by subjecting berkelium to intense neutron radiation in a nuclear reactor.
Californium has no biological role and only a few californium compounds have been made and studied. Included among these are californium oxide (Cf2O3), californium trichloride (CfCl3) and californium oxychloride (CfOCl). The only californium ion that is stable in aqueous solution is the californium(III) cation.
In October 2006 it was announced that on three occasions californium-249 atoms had been bombarded with calcium-48 ions to produce ununoctium (element 118), making this the heaviest element ever synthesized.
251Cf is famous for having a very small critical mass of 5 kg (), high lethality, and short period of toxic environmental irradiation relative to radioactive elements commonly used for radiation explosive weaponry, creating speculation about possible use in pocket nukes. However, the costs of such a bomb would be extremely high (around US $100 billion ). Other weaponry uses, such as showering an area with californium, are not impossible but are seen as inhumane and are subject to inclement weather conditions and porous terrain considerations.
Californium is produced by neutron capture on berkelium-249. Three californium isotopes with significant halflives are produced, requiring a total of 12 to 14 neutron captures on uranium-238 without nuclear fission or alpha decay. Their neutron cross sections are:
Capture | Fission | HL | |||
Th | RI | Th | RI | (a) | |
250Cf | 2000 | 12000 | 13.1 | ||
251Cf | 2900 | 1600 | 4800 | 5500 | 900 |
252Cf | 20 | 44 | 32 | 1100 | 2.646 |
Thus 250Cf and 251Cf will be transmuted fairly quickly, with the majority fissioning at mass 251, but with a large fraction surviving to become 252Cf; the 252Cf however will not be transmuted or destroyed quickly in a well-thermalized reactor.
252Cf has a relatively high rate of spontaneous fission. Although still much less likely than alpha decay, this makes californium a significant neutron radiation emitter. MOX fuel containing enough curium would likely contain enough californium after use to preclude manual handling of the spent fuel or its nuclear reprocessing products with a glove box that protects against alpha and beta radiation but not against gamma radiation and especially neutron radiation.
To produce element 98, the team bombarded a microgram-sized target of 242Cm with 35 MeV alpha particles in the 5-foot (1.52 m) Berkeley cyclotron, which produced atoms of 245Cf (half-life 44 minutes) and a free neutron.
Due to its $27 million per gram price tag, only 8 grams of 252Cf have been made in the western world since its discovery by Seaborg in 1950. Plutonium supplied by the United Kingdom to the U.S. under the 1958 US-UK Mutual Defence Agreement was used for californium production.

J.R. Smith guarantees title, but may miss season opener
On Saturday we shared with you Knicks guard J.R. Smith's feelings that the Nets' Paul Pierce was a "bitter person" when it came to the Knicks-Nets rivalry, yet another salvo in an escalating war of words between the two franchises that prompted the league last year to tell their owners to knock it off.
It turns out Mr. Smith had quite a bit extra to say, and being the humble person he is, there's a lot more to raise eyebrows.
During a question-and-answer session with kid golfers at Chelsea Piers, Smith was asked how sure he was of the Knicks ending their title drought this season.
"I'm 100 percent sure," the swingman said.
Smith was then asked why he joined the Knicks over the Nets when he came back from China in February 2012.
"The Nets weren't good,'' Smith said. "Now they're still not good.''
There has been much hype this offseason lavished on the Nets after their bold trade with the Celtics to acquire Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, who has been the most outspoken promoter of Brooklyn's chances in the Eastern Conference.
When asked by The Post why he is so confident, Smith said, "I feel comfortable. People ruled us out last year early, too. We added some great pieces. Unfortunately, we got rid of some good pieces. But we added Andrea [Bargnani], Beno [Udrih], Metta [World Peace]. We have to consistently play like we did the first 20 games last year the whole season. We can't have a middle-of-season lapse. We have to consistently play the same way."
via Knicks' J.R. Smith disses Paul Pierce, Brooklyn Nets & guarantees title - NYPOST.com.
See, you're supposed to be confident. It's one thing for a player to say "I'm the best player/ I'm the best player at my position." But guaranteeing a title is another level and kind of hubris. It rarely works out well, and in this case, it's an insult to the two-time defending champions. You can be confident and say you feel you can beat any team. Saying you will "100 percent win the title" is just arrogance that ignores the reality of what the team was last season.
And the Nets were the fourth seed last season, and went to a Game 7 against a tough Bulls team. Likewise, they added two future Hall of Famers. But Smith's not trying to speak any sort of truth, here. He's just expousing trash talk, which is fine. Bear in mind that Smith is a much more careful guy wth the media than he is with his shot selection. He knows what he's doing here.
As far as what the Knicks did last year and in the offseason, there's a lot of argument to be had about whether the Knicks got better or worse. If Metta World Peace turns in a great season, Andrea Bargnani rediscovers his jump shot, and Beno Udrih makes up for the loss of Jason Kidd, then yeah, they can definitely take a step forward. It's not crazy to think this team can capture the second seed, or even first if the Heat decide to coast in their attempt for a threepeat. They can win 55 games, no question.
What's more interesting is how Smith talks about last year. That "middle-of-season" lapse lasted most of the year. From Dec. 1 through March 15, the Knicks were 28th in field-goal percentage, ninth in points per game, seventh in offensive efficiency, 16th in defensive efficiency, and ninth in net efficiency. (Efficiency is points per 100 estimated possessions a better estimate than per-game, due to the pace different teams run at, resulting in more or fewer possessions per game.) They were good, but not great. They just had an excellent November and an absolutely stellar last month of the season.
So which Knicks team is the "real" Knicks?
That's going to be the big question going forward. The Knicks had a huge number of injuries in that middle stretch, including Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler. Maybe that's all that kept them from keeping up their early-season pace. But some of it was also shot selection ... and a lot of that falls on Smith. If the Knicks want to be that kind of elite team, it's not as easy as just saying it. It's changing who they are.
Smith also said his doctor may keep him out the first couple of games of the regular season as he continues his rehab from offseason knee surgery.

Cloudy skies in Metro Manila on SONA day
MANILA, Philippines—Metro Manila will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening Monday, when President Benigno Aquino delivers his fourth State of the Nation's Address, the state weather bureau said.
The monsoon trough will bring cloudy skies and light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorm over the western section of Luzon on Friday. In Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, these areas will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms until Saturday, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
By Sunday however, the monsoon trough is expected to weaken, resulting to gradual improvement of the weather condition over the western section of Luzon.
Aquino will deliver his annual speech before a joint session of Congress at the Batasan Complex in Quezon City on Monday afternoon.
As in other SONA, protests by militant groups are expected along Commonwealth Avenue, near the Batasan Complex.
A rerouting scheme has also been prepared in a bid to avoid a possible traffic buildup in the said area.

Cameron, Lynne (2011). Metaphor and Reconciliation: The Discourse Dynamics of Empathy in Post-Conflict Conversations. Routledge Studies in Linguistics. New York, USA: Routledge.

Sixteen years after her father was killed by an IRA bomb, Jo Berry had her first conversation with the man responsible. She had made a long journey, 'walking the footsteps of the bombers' as she put it, determined not to give in to anger and revenge but to try to understand his motivations and perspective. Her preparedness to meet Pat Magee opened up a path to empathy that developed through their conversations over the following years. This book studies their growing understandings of each other by focusing on the rich networks of metaphors that appear in their conversations, and how these evolve in the process of reconciliation. The innovative research method, reported in a rigorous but accessible style, together with the rich and often poignant data, make this book a compelling read. In uncovering the development of empathy between these two extraordinary people, it illuminates the moral necessity, and the potential rewards, of persevering in trying to imagine the world and mind of the Other, however challenging we find that to be. Implications are drawn for how mediators in reconciliation contexts might make positive use of metaphor in supporting the dynamics of empathy.

Aging and Medically Compromixed Periodontal Prosthodontic Patients-Salvaging Abutment Teeth Undermined by Root Surface C aries
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0189
Aging and medically compromised patients are retaining their teeth longer. With the prolonged use of medications that produce xerostomia, these patients become more caries sus ceptible. Root surface caries, which undermines abutment crowns, results in loss of abutments because it is difficult to detect incipient lesions and make appropriate repairs before a significant amount of coronal dentin is lost. With the absence of a significant amount of coronal dentin, routine preparation and impression techniques can result in failure and frustration. For many such patients crown lengthening is the treatment of choice. It provides the restorative dentist convenient access and visibility. However, surgery may be contraindicated because of unfavorable anatomy. It may also be refused by the patient, often upon the advice of a physician. This article provides predictable alternatives for routine preparation and impression techniques. Documentation substantiates the long-term efficacy of these alterantives.

Costa Rican authorities have raided the offices of Absolute Poker and UltimateBet reportedly as an indirect result of the Black Friday indictments. Local sources are reporting that Costa Rican authorities conducted the raids because Absolute Poker and UlitmateBet laid off their employees and have not paid them and in response to the indictments by the DOJ for money laundering and bank fraud.
The Costan Rica Police (the Organismo de Investigaciones Judiciales) also have been looking for the founder of AP/UB, Scott Tom, and Olman Rimola, the owner of a business related to AP/UB, but have been unable to find them.
The local press in Costa Rican is reporting that authorities have launched their own investigations into the operations of Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet in response to the Black Friday indictments and because a legal representative for UltimateBet is also a mayoral candidate for the Costa Rican city of Escazu.
Support offices for PokerStars were also raided but have since been re-opened and all indications are that PokerStars has been given the all clear by the Costa Rican authorities. From PokerStars Steve, VIP Manager:
PokerStars continues to operate the world's largest poker room, business as usual. It is true that the OIJ is currently at the PokerStars Costa Rican office and has sent employees home temporarily, but employees will be able to return in a few hours. PokerStars expects the office to return to business as usual in short order as this action was most likely taken as a response to problems experienced by other local companies in the same industry.

handshots, to show perspective - it's admittedly not the biggest size, but considering the difficulty in finding the colour I wasn't about to say no!
I also have what I think could be a good setting idea to compensate for the size, I'll post about that a lil later..
These next few were taken next to my new sapphire ring, for metal and size comparisons..
jff, I chucked on this YG milgrain band and liked it as a combo with my platinum sapphire ring quite a bit.. I know it may not be everyone's tastes, but I love the look of the mixed metals with the blue sapphire.. does anyone think it's silly to wear it like this even though I'm not married yet..? lol..
Rarely do I say this for light blues, but that is really nice! Honestly I''d think about something minimalistic, dainty and white for the setting, to keep it as open as possible around the stone as it''s sparkliness (making up the words again) should really be brought out as much as possible. It''s got that icy combination of high transparency and brilliance which I''m sure looks amazing IRL.
Regardng mixing and matching - if you like it, don''t think twice. I think your sapphire has such a color (at least in photos) that it looks nice next to either of the metals, and I honestly never think about what some ring, or a combination of them, might mean. |
Happy new year AJ! Your new Barry spinel is a lovely color.
How about a halo in white gold? That would take your 6mm to 8 or 9 mm. There is beauty, and then there is Bella..... http://www.pricescope.com/forum/show-me-the-ring/introducing-the-whiteflash-bella-pendant-t155624.html |
Stunning spinel, AJ! Very pretty compliment to your sapphire, but the sapphire remains on center stage.
The two rings together are fine, but I think what I like best about them is that they each will look great on their own. Over the years I have loved having a plain gold band to wear on its own when I was busy with activities where I couldn''t wear my diamond ring. As for together, they are like what royality wears, so how can you go wrong? |

The Worst Free Throw Attempt Ever, And That's Not Hyperbole
Nigerian-born Brian Okam is a 7-0 junior center Appalachian State. He is not very good. But he is still an able-bodied human being, which means there is no excuse for this free throw "attempt" during last night's game against Western Carolina.
I say "attempt" because I'm pretty sure the only thing Okam was attempting to do here was troll the world.
Take a look for yourself, via WCU TV.
Luckily, Appalachian State was able to rebound from this travesty to only lose by six. Good job, good effort.

All Will Be Well
"All is well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." This phrase has been reassuring for me in times of stress and anxiety for years. The fifteen months between May of 2012 and August of 2013 were months that challenged Julian of Norwich's words as I lost both parents and my husband. I felt I could barely come up for air from one death, one crisis, until another hit. My friends were concerned for me; I have health problems including multiple sclerosis, and stress can exacerbate the disease.

Tools for Packing Away the Pain
Several years ago, the Universe forced me to examine the "scar tissue" surrounding my heart, the direct result of a chronic American illness– racism. The multiple re-injuries to this wound affected every aspect of my existence, from family interactions, to childhood friendships, to personal and professional goals. Tragically, it also affected my own self-image.

Peace on Earth
Sometimes we talk about how the Center's work at a very broad level is really peace and conflict resolution work: healing trauma in individuals, families and communities, to bring about forgiveness, revitalization, growth, and hope. Perhaps, if you are an alum of our programs, you have experienced this?
Sometimes healing means understanding, sometimes it means letting go. It might mean leaving, or staying; it might mean developing gratitude, awareness, self-compassion, or self-expression. Mind-body medicine allows us to be human, and our group model creates the holding container in which what needs to happen can finally happen, instead of being held in or held back. Again and again, we witness the beauty and resilience of the human spirit.
In the season of light, as the new year approaches, we look forward to continuing this remarkable healing work, bringing comfort to people who are suffering, and doing our part to bring peace on earth.
Sending love and our very best wishes to you and yours!

Soft Belly Breathing
Our signature mind-body medicine technique is something Founder and Director James Gordon, MD calls "Soft Belly", by way of encouraging each of us to relax — which few of us instinctively do these days.
We sit quietly, breathing in through our nose and out through our mouth, which both calms the sympathetic nervous system and awakens the parasympathetic nervous system, creating a feeling of relaxation in the mind and body. Dr. Gordon suggests we think "soft" as we breathe in and "belly" as we breathe out, reminding ourselves to relax our belly so we can take in full, healing breaths rather than shallow, tense ones.
Creating a Safe Place for Teenage Tibetan Refugees
Recently, I was in Dharamsala, India, for a conference at the Tibetan Medical College sponsored by the Dalai Lama. While there, I had the opportunity to do a workshop for 200 teenage refugees who had just fled Tibet. I taught soft belly breathing, talked about fight or flight and stress responses, did shaking and dancing, and answered questions. The kids were, even in the large group, remarkably open about their difficulty sleeping and studying, the painful memories of loss, and their flight from Tibet. Afterward, the Tibetan physician Dr. Sonam Dolma, who headed up the conference, asked if there were any kids who wanted individual consultations with me. To her and my amazement 20 lined up; others, a bit discouraged by the length of the line, waited for me later.
Being Present with One Another: Honoring Elderly Veterans
In the beginning, I was cautioned that most elderly veterans would be too debilitated, distressed, or lack the focus and cognitive ability to participate in a group program using CMBM techniques. It has been my experience, however, that CMBM groups are very effective in addressing the primary issues that elderly group members present with, including physical pain, grief, and sensory and cognitive limitations.

What if Your Life Depended on It?
"After Katrina hit I received mops and a bucket from a disaster relief organization. From The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, I got my life back."
Mindy Milam, LCSW, New Orleans
Most relief organizations focus on the physical: providing supplies, water, shelter, food and medical assistance — and rightly so. But where there is physical trauma — whether it affects our body or our possessions — there is also emotional distress. And with emotional distress, especially in extreme situations, if you can't cope, nothing else matters. Relieving emotional stress is the key. By lowering levels of stress, we can think more clearly — vital in a crisis — and we can relax our bodies, to express caring and give and receive love more fully.
Equal Opportunity Group Experience
Since my first Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training Program in 2006, there have been so many moments in which I have given quiet thanks for all that I have learned and experienced with the Center. The moment captured in this photo is but one of many. Having facilitated mind-body skills groups in all kinds of places with all kinds of people, young and old, I have noticed so many common themes, including one I've heard Jim refer to as the "equal opportunity group experience."
Newtown: Thick with Grief, Full of Spirit– and Even Joy
In the bucolic community of Sandy Hook, the air hangs thick with grief and anxiety. I visited with Dr. James Gordon at the end of July, as CMBM's new Global Trauma Relief Coordinator, seeing and talking to people who had been profoundly affected by the December 14th shootings at their elementary school. I had followed these events from afar, of course, but now I was actually listening to how people's lives had changed, and realized that it's not just the people who lost family and friends who are suffering. Everyone in the Newtown area, perhaps across the state, now sees life differently. Some heard the gunshots. Some saw children flee—and didn't know why. Some saw the dead, and painfully realized they couldn't restore life. Tragedy has visited others since then, but in the shadow of December 14, they grapple with it quietly. And how to celebrate? Babies are born; there are birthdays. I worried about being seen as an interloper.

My Stars and Stripes Washi Tape Art project is the first time I have ever worked with washi tape. Until this project, I had never seen (in person), used, or worked with washi tape. {I know, sacrilege!} OMG – I'm sold! Thankfully, Pinterest has a ba-jillion washi tape projects from which to choose! With Memorial Day and Fourth of July just around the corner, I chose to go a little patriotic and bust out the red, white and blue with this Stars and Stripes Washi Tape Art. {Insert me singing "America the Beautiful" here}
I got a little carried away with the washi tape. After I made the star, I embellished the frame and the votive holder! This stuff is so easy to play with since it removes so easily. Where have I been?
Can't wait to use this to decorate my mantle for Fourth of July!

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The passing of pianist Van Cliburn on Wednesday brought back a flood of memories for two pianists in Birmingham who were deeply influenced by him. (See related story.)
UAB piano professor Yakov Kasman, an internationally known soloist and recording artist, won the silver medal in the 1997 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. He was born nine years after Mr. Cliburn won the Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow and returned to New York an American hero, but he grew up under Mr. Cliburn's artistic influence, first in his native Orel, then in Moscow.
Ophthalmologist Drew Mays, who had aspirations when he was young to become a concert pianist, opted for medical school instead. Never far away from the keyboard, he began entering amateur piano competitions and winning medals. In 2007, he entered the most prestigious of them, the Van Ciburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, and won.
Kasman was first stricken with Mr. Cliburn's artistry when he was 5, and last heard him in 2011. Here are a few of his thoughts, recorded on Feb. 27, 2013.
"As a Russian, Van Cliburn probably means no less for me than for an American. We grew up with this name. I grew up with his recordings. It is mostly his artistry that changed me from when I was 5 years old, when I first got an LP with his Tchaikovsky 1st Piano Concerto. It is the important performance in my musical growth. That concerto and the Rachmaninoff 3rd, are the best, and the most beloved. Then discovering his Schumann and Debussy, there are no better performances. Years later when I found myself standing next to him, I was mostly thinking of these recordings and my experience growing up with them. The impact was tremendous.
"The stories are wonderful, with political contexts of his winning in 1958 and what it meant for world releationships. That's very important, but for me his music was most important. Then I discovered what a wonderful person he was. He was one of the most honest, warmest, sincere human beings I've ever met. When I met him at Van Cliburn Competition for the first time, he would talk with every competitor, but he was able to make everybody feel special. That was a unique quality."Every time we met after the Van Cliburn competition, he would recall some of my better performances and would say, 'remember that?' or 'I cannot forget that.' The last time we met was in 2011 in Moscow. I was there coaching (2009 Cliburn medalist) Yeol Eum Son, who was there for the finals. We were sitting in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and Van Cliburn came to the stage. The cameramen were making a documentary in the empty hall. What he did was amazing. He came to the front of the stage, went to his knees and asked each of us to come to the stage. Still on his knees, he hugged both of us. That was the last time I saw him. "I also heard him about 12 years ago in Huntsville. People said he was not good as before, but I witnessed that he was good as ever. He was phenomenal playing the MacDowell Concerto and three encores.
"They say the Van Cliburn Competition can open many, many doors. But they mean doors to the Embassy, doors to politicians, doors to donors. To me, it has opened the door to my profession, and totally changed my life."
Drew Mays was a budding 11-year-old pianist taking a vacation when he first came across Van Cliburn. Here are his thoughts on hearing the news of his passing:
"For me personally, it's like my hero died. When I was a little boy, I heard him play. We were on a family vacation in upstate New York, and my Mom said, 'Van Cliburn' is playing with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Let's see if we can get tickets.' The seating was in an outdoor amphitheater, they played the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1. We had binoculars and I was on the lawn in the very back, but you could hear quite well even though he was far away. I remember being totally blown away, totally inspired. I turned to my parents and said, 'I want to do that – I want to play with an orchestra, wear those fancy clothes and do all that.'
"I was studying piano at the time. Of course, you're not very good when you're 11, but holy cow, that's what's possible. I'm older now and I realize what he was going through with all the touring. He was on the road for 30 years, just circling the globe, circling the globe. All I saw and heard at that time were the bright lights and the music coming off the stage. That was just cool. I didn't even know how great he was. I just knew that's who he was. "When I won the award (in 2007), we talked. He had a great sense of humor. When I was accepting my award for participating in the preliminaries, he gave out the award and shook your hand – everybody got a participation award. All 75 of us shook his hand. I thought to myself, 'That's Van Cliburn.' I'm surprised I didn't go brain dead. He was such a warm, gracious man. I felt no apprehensions at all. I told him, 'I want to thank you for inspiring me. I heard you play Chopin 1 with the Philadelphia Orchestra.' Here we were 40 years later. I thought, 'What a kind thing to say, even if he didn't remember it.' Then I talked to people who knew him better than I did, and they said, 'Yes, he remembers things like that.' He wasn't making it up. "After meeting him the third time, when the finals were announced, he gave me a big hug and said, 'I'm so proud of you.' I said, 'thank you for inspiring us all.' And he said, 'Will you be my eye doctor?' I said, 'Absolutely.' Horowitz was kind of edgy. Rubenstein talked about himself a lot. Van Cliburn was the epitome of a gentleman, with all the veneer and Southern mannerisms. He had a kind thing to say to every contestant who walked across the stage. For me, it was very special just to be meeting my hero.
"I have been very sad today. People asked me, 'You OK, doc?' I said, 'Van Cliburn died.' Older people know who he was. Younger people don't. In the movie, 'They Came to Play,' Slava Levin said, 'If you talk to a street sweeper in Moscow, he will know who Van Cliburn is.' If you talk to some sophisticated, educated people in the U.S., they might not. I'm learning the Beethoven 'Appassionata' sonata because I'm playing it next month, so I have been listening to Van Cliburn's 'Appassionata' from the 1958 competition. I think it may be a great tribute to him."
